sale – Elizabeth Smillie

it’s that time of year …

November 29, 2013 Elizabeth Smillie

Thanksgiving in the US is over, and that means that it’s now officially time to bring out the Christmas decorations and shop the sales!! {all while enjoying some left over pie – we may have enough to last for a few days!}

I don’t know about you, but I like to try to get all of the decorating and shopping done as quickly after Thanksgiving as possible, allowing me time to enjoy and savor the rest of the season with the family at a slower pace {and have time to make the crafts and gifts I’ve been wanting to :D}.

This weekend I’m thrilled to be able to offer you all a 20% discount on orders of $20 or more – just enter code BEMERRY13 as you are checking out and it will automatically recalculate the total for you. This is even good on the massive sale we are having on the popular ice cream makers! Just add another item{s} to your cart to bring the total to $20 :) Use this code for Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and all the way through Cyber Monday!

One other thing – we’ve noticed that there are some issues with parts of the site, and we are working to fix them as quickly as possible. If there is something that you are trying to purchase and either having difficulty adding to your “cart” or receiving an error code on, please contact us at contact@pltmarket.com and we will be happy to set up a Paypal invoice for you instead of the website checkout. My apologies about this!

Thank you all for joining me here through the past year, for your kind comments and your encouragement. I’m so grateful for you!

Sale time!

Have you been getting Christmas gifts crossed off your list already? Are you the type of person who has everything wrapped by December 1st, or the type who finishes the wrapping Christmas Eve?

Well, whichever category you tend toward, this next few weeks tends to be pretty busy with shopping {and taking advantage of sales!} and trying to find something “just right” for each name on your list. We have a few of our Ice Cream Makers, and thought we’d offer them at a closeout price to help you save some money and give something that will be truly enjoyed, even by the hard-to-shop-for person who has everything. We are offering the remaining stock at 40% off {the biggest discount we’ve ever offered!}, and when they’re gone, that’s it!

These ice cream makers are incredibly handy and easy to use – they are electric, ice-less {i.e. mess-less} and cute, too! Each one will get shipped by the next business day, ensuring that they arrive in time for gifting.

What’s on your wish list this year?

a Labor Day sale!

August 30, 2013 Elizabeth Smillie

Happy Labor Day! I’ve been planning on sharing our summer decor for … all summer {best intentions, eh?} and realized that if I was ever going to, now was the time! After Ian’s Car themed birthday, I was loving the “Americana” feel of all the party decorations, and decided to go with it as a summer theme. :) After I took down the cars and birthday banner, I added a few more things from years past and from the shop, moving them around a bit over the course of the summer. The Large Book Star Garland is surprisingly durable! I’ve had it draped on our shelf for 3 months now, and there’s only been one incident with a tear {and that one was my fault – not the kids ;)}. It eases nicely into Autumn, too! And the Red, White and Blue Star Cake Garland has been a fun pop of color in my little pot of dried boxwood, and looked sweet with the patriotic colored candles.
I made the embellished lanterns from a Martha Stewart tutorial a few years ago, and was happy to see that they had survived the time in storage {a.k.a. a file box in the closet that I had forgotten about}. To finish off our “dining room” area, I draped a Red, White and Blue Large Star Garland over the top of our curtains and hung a large Navy Star on either end.Star dessert toppers aren’t just for desserts! They add such a fun touch to just about anything, and I’ve really been enjoying having a cluster of red, white and blue stars in a pewter vase on the shelf by our front door. {“love” print from Recipe For Crazy}

Do you have any plans for the long weekend? My husband actually gets Labor Day off this year {perhaps the first time since we’ve been married – yay!} and we’re hoping to get a few house projects done. Growing up, my dad used to remind us that one of the best ways to celebrate the American worker was to be an American worker – and then tell us what the project for the day was! :) It didn’t used to be too much fun {except we always had a wonderful barbecue at then end of the day – mmm!}, but now that there’s the possibility that I could have a freshly painted bedroom? It sounds great!

And, not to leave you without a special sale for the Labor Day weekend {maybe a perfect time to stock up on decor and dessert toppers for fall celebrations?}, I have a coupon code for you! Use code LABORDAY20 for 20% off of any order in between now and midnight Monday!

I hope you all have a blessed, relaxing weekend <3

-some flowers for you <3-

Happy Valentine’s day, lovelies! I hope that you’re enjoying it, whether you are celebrating with loved ones or on your own :)

Just a couple little reminders – the coupon code for 15% off of your entire order from the shop (BeMine) expires tonight and the question/giveaway ends tonight as well. Take advantage of them while you can!

Have a lovely day! And I’ll be popping back in tomorrow with some gorgeous images and a shop update :)

p.s. I noticed last night that the last few posts say that my husband John wrote them – doh! I was signed in under his account without realizing it and now can’t change the author name … ah well, live and learn, right? :)

decorating for New Year’s Eve

December 31, 2012 Elizabeth Smillie

What are your plans for tonight? Staying up to welcome the New Year? Crashing early? Celebrating with loved ones, yummy munchies and board games? Snuggling up warm and watching a movie? Doing some online shopping of after Christmas sales (if so, don’t forget the coupon code for 15% off of the shop – maybe a good time to pick up the Garland for Every Holiday set?)? If you’re online, stop by the temporary landing page for our new website – still can hardly believe it’s actually happening! – and sign up for the newsletter so you can stay up to date on sales and things :)

Right now, crashing early sounds really good, but I’m looking forward to a fun evening with extended family, maybe a game or two and some delicious goodies. And enjoying watching it snow. :)

(one of the lovely bits of living in the midwest is having a snowy mailbox :D)

Have you seen the glittered votives making their way around Pinterest? I made some after seeing them and now think I need to make a few more – maybe in pinks and red for Valentine’s Day … :) These have been adding such a festive touch to our Christmas and New Year’s decorations!

The rest of our New Year’s decor is centered around our upstairs window. I recently found a small disco ball on Etsy (probably one of my most frivolous purchases yet :D) and combined it with a Snowflake Garland from the shop and a printable Happy New Year banner from theTomKatStudio.

Last year’s version of the same window (minus the disco ball) – I made up the twinkle star garland as a last minute way to add a bit of festivity to our house and it ended up going in the shop and becoming quite popular! Kind of fun to see how God uses some of my random ramblings and spurts of creative experimenting :)
I’m thinking that some large balloons (maybe like these) and twinkle lights would round this out nicely – maybe next year!

I’ve been reflecting back on 2012 for the past few days (and would enjoy making up a year-end round-up post here) and can only come to the conclusion that God is amazing. And, because He doesn’t change, that amazingness will continue in 2013.

Here’s to a wonder-ful new year!

Merry, Merry Christmas!

December 24, 2012 Elizabeth Smillie

What a day to celebrate! The day that God, in His infinite mercy and love, sent His only Son to earth to live among us and be our Savior, ultimately dying (and rising again) in our place. Yes, indeed a day to celebrate.

I’m taking this Christmas a bit slower than usual. In fact, most of my Christmas cards are quickly becoming New Year’s cards. : ) There are so many things that I wanted to do that didn’t get done, so many things I wanted to make (a bunch of them are on my Pinterest board) that didn’t get made. There’s always next year, though! This year I spent most of my time cuddling our three(!) babes and learning Olivia’s moods and preferences. Which is just as it needed to be : )

It seems that Christmas (not to mention December) has come around again so quickly this year. I’m hoping/planning to put up an end of the year recap post – so much has happened in the last twelve months! God has blessed us beyond our dreams, and are so, so very grateful. This next year is already shaping up to be even more incredible! (one thing being a new website – amazing! We’re hoping for it to be live by the second week of January – while you’re waiting for the real thing you can see our landing page at www.pltmarket.com sign up for our newsletter {yet another new thing!})

My gift to you this years is a shop coupon code (CHRISTMAS2012) for 15% off of your entire order, good until January 30, 2013. I hope you enjoy it! You have each been so wonderful, and I’ve been privileged to be able to serve you. :)

Blessings to each of you and your families this Christmas! May you make memories to cherish and enjoy the wonders of His amazing love.
